| Hyaeweol Choi, Associate Professor of Korean | ||
Hyaeweol Choi, Associate Professor of Korean Studies, earned her B.A. and M.A. from Yonsei University, and Ph.D from SUNY-Buffalo. She taught at Smith College and the University of Kansas before joining the faculty at ASU in 1998. Her work largely concerns gender, culture and religion at the intersection of nationalism and (post)colonialism. She is particularly interested in Korea's cultural and religious encounters with other countries and the subsequent impact on the gender system. Her forthcoming book, entitled Gender and Mission Encounters in Korea: New Women, Old Ways (University of California Press/GAIA, 2009), examines the genealogies of the "modern" woman among American Protestant missionaries and Korean intellectuals within the context of Korea's colonization by Japan at the turn of the twentieth century. She is currently compiling and translating into English some of the central archival material concerning the "New Woman" in Korea in the 1920s and 1930s. Her planned future project will focus on gender and transnationality, examining the flow of gendered cultural images, knowledge and artifacts as they are manifested in literature, cinema and academia.
